From the article, its essentially a solar powered distillation device. Since it's distilling the water you wouldn't have to worry about other contaminants, they would all be left behind with the salt. Of course there's nothing wrong with running it through a reverse osmosis system but you'll probably want to add minerals back into the water if you were to do anything to it.
A lot of those reverse osmosis systems do add minerals back in I believe.
